Go birdwatching at Presqu’ile Provincial Park

One of Ontario’s oldest operating lighthouses is hardly the only attraction at Presqu’ile Provincial Park. A top destination in the province during all seasons, the park is particularly popular in spring and fall, due to the fact that it acts as a staging point for Mexico-bound monarch butterflies and a major flyway for migrating birds. The park is equipped with a long boardwalk, which crosses over the wetlands that help sustain the marsh birds you’ll find here, such as gulls, cormorants, terns and herons, among others.

How to get there: Presqu’ile Provincial Park is located south of Brighton, Ont., which can be found south of the 401, where County Road 2 and Highway 30 intersect. From Brighton, head west on Main Street toward Proctor Street before turning left on Regional Road 66/Ontario Street. Take a slight right toward Presqu’ile Parkway. Stay on the Parkway until you are brought to the provincial park.
